NEW YORK - PennZone -- Join Susanne Tedrick, cloud computing specialist and author of the critically acclaimed book, "Women of Color in Tech", alongside a panel of her peers, for the debut of the Wiley Diversity in Tech Webinar Series.

The first webinar, titled "Becoming Better Allies" will take place on Thursday, May 13th, 2021 at 2:00 P.M. ET. The series, in its entirety, will examine various dimensions of diversity and address the issues surrounding the diversification of the historically white-male-dominated tech industry.

During the first discussion, Ms. Tedrick will delve deeper into the true meaning of "allyship", a term that is often expressed but rarely explained, when discussing diversity in tech. Throughout the debut webinar, listeners will learn the answers to important questions, such as, "What does it mean to be an ally?" and "What behaviors and actions do good allies demonstrate?"
